The 5,251 silver coins, which are more than 1,000 years old, were found in a farmer's field near Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire. Report this Post to the Staff

Demarco Bishopp Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 548 Posts	Posted 01/02/2015 5:05 pm I do love to imagine the stories behind these hoards of coins. Apparently there was a mint nearby in Anglo-Saxon times so that might explain why this hoard was buried in that location, but it makes you wonder what happened to the owner. Why did they never return? I wonder how many of these hoards are left undiscovered in Britain....... Report this Post to the Staff

0xDA71D Pillar of the Community United States 1215 Posts	Posted 01/02/2015 7:16 pm Can these coins be worth more due to their origin or pedigree? Report this Post to the Staff
loganjonathan Valued Member United States 272 Posts	Posted 01/02/2015 7:21 pm i would think so if you ask me. It would be like if someone was selling elton john's guitar its a guitar but because it was elton john its worth more so I would assume its the same thing for these coins Report this Post to the Staff
